Cookie Policy
What we store, where, and how you stay in control.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. This policy also covers similar browser storage (localStorage), which behaves like a cookie but never travels to a server by itself.
2. What WE set
| Storage | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| rnv_theme | localStorage | remember dark/light preference | until cleared |
| rnv_lang | localStorage | remember language (EN/HI) | until cleared |
| rnv_history | localStorage | your recent downloads list (device-only) | until cleared |
| rnv_favs | localStorage | your favorites (device-only) | until cleared |
| rnv_cookie | localStorage | optional RedNote session cookie YOU added under "Advanced" | until cleared |
| rnv_consent | localStorage | remembers your ad-consent choice | 12 months |
None of these identify you to us; they never leave your device (except the optional RedNote cookie, which accompanies your own requests only).
3. Third-party cookies (when enabled)
When advertising/analytics are enabled, these partners may set cookies:
| Partner | Purpose | Policy / opt-out |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Serving and measuring ads, including personalized ads based on your visits (with consent where required) | Google Ads Policy · Ads Settings |
| Google Analytics | Aggregate usage statistics (pages, device types) | Opt-out add-on |
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
4. Consent
If you are in a region that requires consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland), our consent banner appears before any non-essential third-party cookie is set. You can change your choice anytime from the footer link "Cookie settings".
5. Managing cookies
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies (Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Cookies; Safari: Preferences → Privacy; Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security). Blocking all cookies may disable preferences such as theme and history.
6. Changes
We will update this page when the set of partners changes. Last updated: 2026-07-25.
